Dainese Istrice, leather jacket

Dainese’s sporty essence meets the most advanced technology in this motorcycle jacket made of soft Federica leather, ideal for motorcycle outings in warm weather. Istrice leather jacket is the expression of Dainese's comprehensive know-how in terms of functionality and ergonomics: The innovative Istrice Ergo-Tek plates on the shoulders feature a revolutionary flexible metal construction combined with fiberglass-filled nylon studs, which allows the plates to better adapt to the body while providing less friction in the event of a fall.

This solution, paired with Pro-Armor soft protectors on shoulders and elbows – which can be supplemented with chest and back protectors purchased separately – enables excellent ergonomics that enhance riding comfort. Maximum thermal comfort is guaranteed by Quickdry Frame™ technology that allows moisture inside the jacket to evaporate more quickly, making this garment the ideal solution even on the hottest days – without having to give up the safety provided by a leather garment.

As well as ensuring a suitable body temperature, extreme comfort is also guaranteed by its bi-elastic S1 fabric inserts and slightly sporty cut – factors allowing riders to feel free and easy at all times, even during the most stressful riding moments.

Istrice Leather Jacket features small practical details such as a waterproof inner pocket to protect cell phone or documents from downpours and a jacket-to-pants connection loop preventing unpleasant drafts at the back while riding.

Istrice Ergo-Tek

Innovative construction that represents the expression of Dainese's comprehensive know-how in terms of protection, functionality and ergonomics. The shoulder plates feature a revolutionary flexible metal construction combined with fiberglass-filled nylon studs, which allows the plates to better adapt to the body while providing less friction in the event of a fall.

Pro-Armor

Pro-Armor is a patented technology from Dainese that simultaneously gives protectors a high level of protection and extreme flexibility by replicating the body's biomechanics for extreme mobility and optimal coverage. Pro-Armor uses an innovative design language inspired by fractals - a pattern also found in nature with different iterations.

Quickdry Frame®

Quickdry Frame® is designed to wick moisture away from the body. A technology that keeps you riding dry and comfortable at all times. Combined with Dainese's premium materials, Quickdry Frame® allows each of these fabrics to dry 30% faster thanks to its functional pattern.

S1 Fabric

S1 fabric is designed for improved comfort and to facilitate ventilation of the garment. The fabric is made of elastomer with Cordura polyamide coating, providing unmatched mechanical strength, great elasticity and superior comfort. The use of nanotechnology provides optimal water and oil repellent features.
